In the Bedroom, is an intimate perspective of the space between the subconscious dreamworld and fantasy. Portrayed through the feminine archetype, this personal journey is a kaleidoscopic explosion of color and imagination interwoven and juxtaposed in the stillness of the environment.

The creative process of In The Bedroom is a unique multi-layered technique producing an original one of a kind piece. All photographs are shot on film with the use of a medium format camera. The image is then printed and displayed in view for the collage to take form. The “dream” is revealed through the patience of time and the collection of imagery. Vintage and modern illustrations are layered between acrylic sheets, arranged and re-arranged multitudinously until the finality of the piece is revealed. This subliminal expedition can take anywhere from a few days up to a few months. Occasionally due to the anomaly of dreams, the absence of vision leaves a frame void of all imagination. The artistic intention derives not from cerebral contemplation but from the undercurrent of a sentimental world.

Multi-media artist Javiera Estrada was born in Mexico in 1981 and moved to the United States in 1989. Her childhood was heavily influenced by her training in classical piano and violin, which continues to inspire her aesthetic today. She attended Santa Monica College and received her Certificate of Photography in 2009 where she was the recipient of a grant for an award of excellence.

Estrada’s broad scope of work is a reflection of memories that she has shaped into her reality. A seeker of the spiritual, Estrada believes that every piece of art created is a self-portrait, a physical expression of that inner nameless world our soul inhabits. Using photography as her main visual medium, the sound of the camera's click offers her the perfect confluence between the real and the ethereal. A multifarious artist, Estrada’s creative expression encompasses traditional photography alongside mixed media. Her mixed media works are a comment on the natural cycle of decomposition and reflected through the deconstruction of the image.

Estrada has exhibited in numerous galleries and private collections internationally in the United States, Europe, and Asia. She is a 2015 finalist for the Emerging Focus Competition, as well as a 1st place showcase winner of Art Slant’s 2014 Juried Exhibition. Estrada currently works and resides in Los Angeles.
